Someone asked me to give old horror films i recommend and are my favorites... I added some good to watch, what say you?
Recommended
The Seventh Victim- 1943- you may enjoy this one, I saw this for the first time recently. The end is electric, a human horror or is it?:) I want to know if you think this is more frightening than rosemary's baby?
The Uninvited 1944- I despise that the studios demanded the ending where the ghost is revealed. it is the films only blemish.
The Innocents 1961- the chiaroscuro in this film is brilliant, plus the story shows how human horror can be. A favorite of mine but i recommend.
The Haunting 1963 - the chiaroscuro in this film, is brilliant
Kuroneko 1968 - it is romantic so may be one of the best to watch with a partner. the beginning is so straight forward
The Wicker Man- 1973- you thought you could come her, a man alone, and defeat all of us, brilliant. Outside the introductory message which is temporally brilliant, the ego of the cop guy,... in the wicker man it is the arrogance to go into horror, that is the trick for me. Alot of other films these people didn't know or didn't want but here, this guy walks into it. the horror of human arrogance. A Favorite of mine but I recommend.
Favorite
The Body Snatcher 1945- I love the plot, every character has value, every character has purpose, for me it is great writing, and I love when human horror blends with supernatural horror.
Isle of the Dead 1945 - again Luten, The premise is great, the reason why they are in this little island works, and the rest is magic.
Invasion of the Body Snatcher 1956- it is campy but classic. it is a classic example of how a writer can make a premise that doesn't require non humans creature to still have creatures.
The Masque of the Red Death 1964 - I just love hearing Vincent Price say, I was a worshipper of Satan when no one else was:) classic.
The Devil Rides Out 1968 - thank god... yes, it is he you must thank:) the fact that a character actually explains the supernatural in this film.is underrated. yes, the special effects are campy.
Night of the Living Dead 1969 - the action of this horror film, great use
Not Recommended or Favorite but a good watch
Phantom of the opera 1925 - You need to see the restored version, i got to see it on turner classic movies. The end is great cause it exposes the truth, that many miss, the phantom's real weapon isn't his face but his manipulation of the emotions of the masses, their fear.
Cat People 1942- Val Lewton. As a fellow writer you may be interested to know that Luten wrote many screenplays that were never made. He produced cat people but he was involved in all his films production.
The Picture of Dorian Grey 1945- if you are fan of angela lansbury , cry:)
Night of the hunter 1955 human horror, very tense, not spooky, a crime drama but man
House on Haunted Hill 1959 - the plot is lovely
Carnival of SOuls 1962- great hook at the end
Onibaba 1964- great blend of magic and human horror
Second 1966- another human horror, it is human society that is the horror, nice angular cinematography
Event Horizon 1997 liberate tuteme:) hahaah not old, but consider it, love the premise.
The autopsy of Jane Doe 2016- not old, not black and white, but the use of light and shadow and the premise, considering who the criminal really is:)
